Merosin negative congenital muscular dystrophy: a short report. Neurology India. 2003 Sep; 51(3): 417-9http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/121540We report a rare case of an infant with congenital muscular dystrophy who presented at birth with marked generalized hypotonia and normal mental development. Creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) level was markedly raised; however no white matter abnormalities were detected by brain imaging techniques. Immunohistochemical staining for merosin (laminin alpha 2) was negative, thereby confirming merosin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy.engFemaleHumansInfantLaminin --deficiencyMuscle, Skeletal --metabolismMuscular Dystrophies --congenitalCase Reports
